University Calendar Committee

Areas of Committee Concern

The committee develops Elon's academic calendar as well as the full institutional/university calendar.

Policies and Procedures and Responsibilities

  • Both the academic calendar and the institutional calendar are prepared two years in advance.
  • As the first step in developing the institutional calendar, a subcommittee of the calendar committee composed of the Provost, the Registrar and the two teaching faculty committee members, meets to develop the academic calendar in a manner that ensures adherence to SACS requirements.
  • As the second step in developing the institutional calendar, the full calendar committee meets to develop the institutional calendar. During this process, members of the calendar committee coordinate their respective events (e.g., family weekend, graduation, admissions events, homecoming) to work within the established academic calendar.
